Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Great Actors, 1750-1850 It is not easy to write about actors. There is danger if they are alive and the risk of dullness if they are dead. Few things apparently interest the average person more than a real live actor, and few things bore them more than a dead one! This is partly because too much attention is generally paid to the personality of the actor, but principally because his reign, like a king's, ceases when he dies - sometimes before. But we can read the history of that reign, and can, to a certain extent, tell what manner of man the king was. Moreover, we are, some of us, that is to say, naturally interested in those who have tended the sacred lamp of the drama and kept it burning for some definite period of time. Actors do leave foot-prints on the sands of time. Tradition keeps their memory green, traditional pieces of business are sometimes remembered when their originator is forgotten. Sometimes both are remembered and always associated. Macklin and his Shy lock are a living force in the drama to-day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Players of a Century: A Record of the Albany Stage, Including Notices of Prominent Actors Who Have Appeared in America N order to write a history of the theatre in Albany, one must go back at least 110 years. Even before that time dramatic performances we1e given, but as they were simply the amusement of amateurs, they baldly come within the scope of this record. Still the circumstances connected with them are so cuiious that the reader will perhaps pardon meandering even at the outset, inasmuch as it has been the habit of stage historians to digress frequently from their narrative Since the days of Colley Cibber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the period when iron became the dominant ’high-technology’ material, increasingly taking over from timber and masonry. It was necessary for the engines and machines of the new industries, but equally vital for the vast civil engineering works which supported this industrialisation. It was these works - mills, warehouses, dockyards, and above all bridges - which so impressed the public in the early 19th century. The papers selected here trace the evolving structural uses of cast and wrought iron in frames and roofs for buildings, and look in particular at the development of bridge design and construction, in America, France, and Russia, as well as in Britain. They cover the processes of design and testing, and at the same time throw much light on the attitudes and careers of the engineers themselves.
